How to eat properly after poisoning and vomiting?

Nutrition after food poisoning should be balanced, carefully dosed and always light. In the first days after recovery, the body malfunctions. The gastrointestinal tract has difficulty breaking down and assimilating food, the liver does not completely neutralize toxins, and the kidneys cannot cope with eliminating fluid. Therefore, eating “heavy”, fatty foods can provoke new attacks of flatulence and diarrhea.

When compiling a diet, the type of food poisoning is taken into account. After suffering from salmonellosis, brucellosis, or hemorrhagic fever, at least a short fast is often required. In case of poisoning with vomiting, foods are introduced into the daily menu gradually, with careful monitoring of all reactions of the gastrointestinal tract to their consumption.

Basic Rules

It is not recommended to eat after nausea and vomiting for at least 24 hours. The body can easily tolerate a short-term lack of nutrients and bioactive substances. In the first days, he is “busy” with the restoration of damaged mucous membranes, the removal of drug metabolites, dead bacteria and toxic products of their vital activity.

On the second day after poisoning, fasting is contraindicated. There is no longer any urge to vomit, the stool acquires a normal consistency, the person begins to get out of bed, but weakness is felt. To replenish strength after the introduction of Brucella and other infectious pathogens into the body, you need to eat foods that contain a lot of complex carbohydrates and proteins. They are exactly what adults and children need for accelerated recovery.

White bread crackers	Pollock soup on water without vegetables and seasonings	Steamed meatballs from fish, chicken breast, rabbit
Biscuits, dry biscuits	Veal, rabbit or quail broth	Cottage cheese casserole without raisins and sour cream
